The engagement letter is the first opportunity to limit the downs – 20 minutes

  • How to charge
  • How to ensure payment
  • Sample litigation engagement letter on AI website

Control the push-pull in developing and reporting opinions – 30 minutes

  • Inherent conflict: appraisers are required to be independent, lawyers required to be advocates for their clients’ positions
  • Stand your ground – lawyers put their pants on one leg at a time (OK, we can clean that up)
